Abrams' coat kind of smells....stale? Not necessarily yeasty, but it has a distinct odor to it. I dont really know how to discribe it. Dry, stale, unclean? When you pet him and scratch his back, your hands smell like him. It also has this weird film on it, so it looks dull and when you pet him your hands feel odd. Not really greasy, just like you've touched something dirty.
After a bath his coat stays fresh smelling/looking for on a couple of days, then he's back to looking/smelling weird. He's not overly itchy (although he did have some weird scabby things pop up on his back a few weeks ago - they're gone now) and he isn't covered in dandruff or anything. I just don't really know what's going on?
Is there a supplement I can try adding to his food to see if it helps? I think I'm going to try some medicated baths to see if that makes a difference, and I can use my new vacuum as a blower so I can actually force dry his coat.
Anybody have any ideas of what's going on with his coat? Does it sound like an allergy...? (His ears are perfectly clean and he doesnt lick/chew anywhere like hes itchy.)
